Sergey Andronov was sent to the Wolves on Monday.

The Chicago Wolves of the AHL, that is. Andronov has been something of a human yoyo the last 48 hours as he was the subject of four transactions to and from the minors. No word yet on whether his demotion means that David Backes is healthy enough to play Tuesday against Minnesota. Mon, Dec 30, 2013 01:33:00 PM

Andronov had just been summoned and sent down Saturday, but he is needed again with David Backes leaving Saturday's game with an upper-body injury. As the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Jeremy Rutherford reports, over the past 48 hours, Andronov notched a hat trick in the AHL, got called up to the NHL, was reassigned and called up to the Blues again. The 24-year-old has 13 points in 28 AHL games. Sun, Dec 29, 2013 01:45:00 AM

Brayden Schenn scored an overtime winner in a 4-3 win over the New York Rangers on Saturday night.

Schenn hadn't scored in his last 10 games before Saturday, and his game-winner couldn't have come at a much better time for the Blues. The OT winner stands as Schenn's eighth game-winner of the season. Schenn now has 25 goals and 59 points in 71 games this season.

The St. Louis Blues were shutout 2-0 by the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night.

To put into perspective how bad a night the Blues had, they managed only 17 total shots on goal with Kyle Brodziak leading the team with four. Nobody else had more than two in the game. After trading away Paul Stastny at the deadline, it appears St. Louis have thrown in the towel on their season.

Ivan Barbashev picked up a goal with an assist and a plus-2 rating with a blocked shot and a hit in Monday's 4-2 win in Anaheim.

Barbashev had a nearly identical stat line in Los Angeles on Saturday, picking up a goal with an assist, a plus-2 rating and two shots in that game, too. In fact, he has lit the lamp in three of his past four games, as scooting up to the line with Alexander Steen and Vladimir Tarasenko has done wonders for his production. If he is still available off the waiver wire, he's not a bad addition in deeper pools. He is also a sweet mid-tier sleeper pick in DFS formats.

Patrik Berglund found the back of the net in Monday's 4-2 win over Anaheim.

Berglund scored an insurance marker for the Blues late in the third period after the Ducks made it 3-2. He has provided one goal and one assist in his last two outings after he failed to pick up a point in his previous seven contests. Berglund has 16 points in 44 games this year.

Jaden Schwartz scored a goal and two assists in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings.

Schwartz helped set up goals by Alex Pietrangelo and Vladimir Tarasenko. He also added his 20th goal of the season in the third period to give his team a 7-1 lead at the time. Schwartz finished the game with a plus-3 rating and two shots on goal in 17:58 of ice time. The 25-year-old is up to 49 points in 48 games this season. He has seven points in his last five contests. Robert Bortuzzo, Colton Parayko, Ivan Barbashev and Kyle Brodziak also found the back of the net for the Blues.

Vladimir Sobotka netted the game-winning goal with a plus-1 rating on three shots on net in Monday's 4-2 win in Anaheim.

Sobotka has a point in back-to-back outings after an ugly 15-game stretch from Jan. 30-March 8. Perhaps this game-winner will give him continued confidence heading into Thursday's home game against the Avalanche. If he can piece together a point streak for a couple more games he might be worth a look in deeper fantasy pools.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Bernard Bach. Fabbri suffered a torn ACL last February. He underwent surgery to repair the injury and was cleared to play in late July. Unfortunately for Fabbri, he re-injured himself during training camp. The Blues forward is done for the season.

Vladimir Tarasenko (upper body) won't play in Sunday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Tarasenko exited Saturday's game against the Rangers. Although he was feeling "pretty good," head coach Mike Yeo didn't want to take a chance by inserting him into the lineup. He's considered day-to-day at this point.

Steen has 13 goals and 27 assists in 62 contests. This is the fifth straight campaign that he's reached the 40-point milestone, though he recorded over 50 points in each of those previous campaigns and there's a good chance Steen falls below that mark this time around.

Nikita Soshnikov picked up an assist with a plus-3 rating across 9:53 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 victory in Anaheim.

Soshnikov was acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs at the trade deadline. He entered the game scoreless in eight NHL games this season between Toronto and St. Louis, so he obviously has a while before even those in deeper fantasy pools will want to take a chance on him.

Alex Pietrangelo has been selected as the NHL's first star of the week for the period ending Mar. 18.

Pietrangelo amassed three goals and six assists in four games. He set a career-high with four points in Sunday's 5-4 OT win over Chicago. Pietrangelo has a personal best 15 goals this season, which has him tied for the league lead among defensemen.

Edmundson played in his first game since Feb. 8 because of an arm injury. He also had two shots and two hits in 22:01 of ice time. Edumundson has seven goals and 16 points in 57 games in 2017-18. Colton Parayko and Dmitrij Jaskin assisted on the Blues' lone marker.

It took a while, but someone finally found the back of the net in this one. Gunnarsson scored the only goal of the game with less than six minutes remaining in regulation. He finished the game with a plus-1 rating, two penalty minutes, three shots on goal and three hits in 18:23 of ice time. He had been a healthy scratch in each of St. Louis' previous three games. Gunnarsson now has five goals and two assists in 43 games this season. He won't have any fantasy value going forward. Paul Stastny registered the assist on St. Louis' only goal.

Robert Bortuzzo posted a goal with a plus-2 rating and a blocked shot over 18:16 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 win in Anaheim.

Bortuzzo is starting to heat up, picking up goals in back-to-back games with a plus-4 rating. After spending a few weeks on injured reserve due to a knee ailment from mid-February to early March, he looks to be better than ever. He entered Saturday's game with just one goal over his first 57 contests. Despite the hot streak he warrants fantasy consideration only in the deepest of pools.

Vince Dunn notched one goal and three assists in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over Chicago.

Dunn provided a goal and an assist on St. Louis power plays during the second period and he collected two secondary helpers in the third period. He had four assists in 15 games going into Sunday's tilt. Dunn has 22 points in 65 games this season.

Jordan Schmaltz will be a healthy scratch in Saturday's game against the New York Rangers.

This will be his second consecutive game in the press box. He has no goals and one assist in 10 games this season. Oskar Sundqvist will also serve as a healthy scratch in this one. Neither player should pop up on your fantasy radar.

Carter Hutton had an MRI on his neck and its sounds like the results were encouraging.

They didn't find anything that would make Hutton's prognosis anything more than day-to-day. "It's just a matter of when he feels better and ready to get back on the ice," Blues coach Mike Yeo said. Hutton has a 2.02 GAA and .934 save percentage in 30 games this season.
